Coming from iPhone to Samsung this past week I needed a PDF reader to continue my studying. This one seemed recommended so I purchased it. Soon realized that a basic feature in 2024 is not within the app; the ability to increase font size without having to zoom in. Even apples free default books app has this function. Adobe Free version has reader mode that does this. After reading others experience it appears this is not a priority for the developers :(

I wanted too love this app I really did, but it just falls short of what it could be. It only has three base colors too choose from, and while you can add your own templates I would love too see more color options for the base templates. I would also love too see a rich text editor for this app as well, and the cover being exported when I do export a notebook it's weird it doesn't do that already, but all that aside it is a really good app for note taking, and whatnot.

It was going decent for a little bit when I started using it. The interface is very clunky and the icons are small, but it worked and there were plenty of features. But the more I used it, the more I had several issues. The largest one consisted of writing out a full page of notes in college, only for the app's sync functionality to randomly decide to overwrite my device with what's in the cloud while I'm in the middle of working, deleting the page of notes I was actively working on.
